Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Delta and wing traps baited with the synthetic female sex pheromone caught ten times more L. orbonalis moths than Spodoptera or uni-trap designs.
- Intervention effect Locally produced water and funnel traps were as effective as delta traps.
- Observation Sticky disc traps with a 2.5 cm radius caught no moths.
- Intervention effect Wing traps placed at crop height caught significantly more moths than traps placed 0.5 m above or below the crop canopy.
- Intervention effect In a young eggplant crop, pheromone trap catches were significantly reduced from 2.0 to 0.4 moths per trap per night in IPM plots compared with check plots.
- Intervention effect In a mature eggplant crop, pheromone trap catches were significantly reduced from 1.1 to 0.3 moths per trap per night in IPM plots compared with check plots.
- Intervention effect In the young eggplant crop, fruit damage was significantly reduced from 41.8% in check plots to 22% in IPM plots.
- Intervention effect In the mature eggplant crop, fruit damage was significantly reduced from 51.2% in check plots to 26.4 in IPM plots.
- Observation In the mature eggplant crop, significant differences in trap catches and fruit damage appeared four and two weeks respectively after IPM treatments began.
- Observation In the immature eggplant crop, significant differences were not observed for the first eight to nine weeks.
- Intervention effect Combining control techniques gave an estimated increase of approximately 50% in marketable fruit compared with insecticide treatment alone.
